But when JG left, everything changed for MT, and a bunch of others. So did his ideas on where he wanted to play.
Why is this so hard to admit?

Did it though?
The rumor (from the spitting chiclets and missing curfew guys) was that Tkachuk asked for a trade going back to the 2021 offseason prior to that season - but it would have been selling low coming off a bad year.

His parents were building a house in Florida before the trade happened...I've heard that the "4 team list" was more of a negotiation tactic for Tkachuk and the Flames to get the deals they wanted...there was only one place he wanted to go. I'm not sure how big of a factor Bennett was.
